//! A wrapper for data protected by a lock that does not wrap it.

use super::{lock::Backend, lock::Lock};
use crate::build_assert;
use core::{cell::UnsafeCell, mem::size_of, ptr};

/// Allows access to some data to be serialised by a lock that does not wrap it.
///
/// In most cases, data protected by a lock is wrapped by the appropriate lock type, e.g.,
/// [`super::Mutex`] or [`super::SpinLock`]. [`LockedBy`] is meant for cases when this is not
/// possible. For example, if a container has a lock and some data in the contained elements needs
/// to be protected by the same lock.
///
/// [`LockedBy`] wraps the data in lieu of another locking primitive, and only allows access to it
/// when the caller shows evidence that the 'external' lock is locked. It panics if the evidence
/// refers to the wrong instance of the lock.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// The following is an example for illustrative purposes: `InnerDirectory::bytes_used` is an
/// aggregate of all `InnerFile::bytes_used` and must be kept consistent; so we wrap `InnerFile` in
/// a `LockedBy` so that it shares a lock with `InnerDirectory`. This allows us to enforce at
/// compile-time that access to `InnerFile` is only granted when an `InnerDirectory` is also
/// locked; we enforce at run time that the right `InnerDirectory` is locked.
///
/// ```
/// use kernel::sync::{LockedBy, Mutex};
///
/// struct InnerFile {
///     bytes_used: u64,
/// }
///
/// struct File {
///     _ino: u32,
///     inner: LockedBy<InnerFile, InnerDirectory>,

/// struct InnerDirectory {
///     /// The sum of the bytes used by all files.
///     bytes_used: u64,
